Pros
Pro Had a movie made out of it
There is a Hollywood movie licensed from the game Clue called Clue. It stars Tim Curry and is frankly fantastic. Go and watch it if you have not already.
Pro Worthwhile lessons for kids to learn
Through the playing of the game Clue children can potentially learn that criminals always get caught for cimes commited as well as learn the process of elimination.
Pro Different editions
There are three different editions to choose from, CLUE THE CLASSIC MYSTERY GAME, CLUE GAME 2013 EDITION
and CLUE GAME.
Pro Can be mixed with Spyfall 1
It will add more locations and make the game harder for experienced spies.
Pro Allows for really big parties (12 players max)
Pro An interesting twist on a Mafia-style game
The spy doesn't try to kill everyone, but to find out where he or she is and to blend with others. This unleashes the player's creativity in asking and answering in that way that only villains will understand it
Cons
Con 2013 edition has new rules and is too easy
Stay away from the 2013 edition as the board has been changed to where all rooms can be reached in a single dice roll (way too easy) as well as rules have been tweaked so more of the cards are known from the beginning (again, making the game too easy). Last but not least the character names have been changed to make them more "hip".
Con Heavily dependant on the team's playfullness
Not talkative or extremely serious people will definitely make the game an ordinary mafia challenge.
Con Highly trivial if played in 3 or 4
It is very easy to reveal the spy in small teams.
